Working with Little RJ from the Pico Rivera Hitmen 11U

Whether we’re throwing 95, or on a roll of hitting our spots consistently; there is always something to get better at when honing our craft.
Rj does s good job of commanding the strike zone with his fastball and change up but today we worked on using our lower half more efficiently to take pressure off our arm.
We worked on front leg stabilization to help shoot himself towards the plate more efficiently.
Normally he lands very passively instead of exploding down the mound. His left leg balances himself at but comes to a dead stop instead of extending or locking his knee out.
We want to do this when pitching because we don’t want to let the energy we’ve applied in from our push off to goto waste.
The timing of this can be explained as such:
When we are releasing the ball, our knee should locking out the further we get into release point getting our hamstring involved as our (pull) toward the plate to help our push off from the drive leg.
P.s he was throwing 🔥 transitioning well from mustang to bronco distance #baseball#training#mechanics#armstrength#velo#velocity#Igbaseball#power#legday#core#pitching#legdrive#details#performance

A little throwback, because I would kill to be in the mountains right now💙 I am fortunate enough to be able to travel and visit my family for a whole month! I never thought I would miss the desert and trips up to the mountains this much. When I moved to Colorado, I remember saying, I will never get used to the beauty of this place🗻 and I haven't. But I had started to take it for granted. In Colorado, an amazing adventure awaits around every corner it seems like. Even if you go on the same hike every day, it is just as magical as the day before and always new, always different! I'm getting excited to get back to Colorado and carve my home into a new area of the state! New adventures await, but until then, I will enjoy each moment I have leading up to it! 🌲🗻🌞 .

Why stay fit while pregnant, when it is the one time (depending on how many times you have been pregnant🤣) that many will be lead to believe that you can eat what you want and do minimal to no exercise. This is a massive rookie error.
Speaking from experience the fitter and healthier you can stay or even become, the better pregnancy you will have.
Taking care of you, first and foremost, is priority and if you can learn to, or change your life to be fit and healthy, at this time your baby will then in turn reap the benefits.
Although I am starting to believe that GD is very very common in fit people who do not fall within the bounds of the standard guidelines. Which really just means that we have to do 30minutes of exercise daily and eat healthy (minimal to no starchy carbs or fast foods) not a great loss or change for those of us who do this prior to becoming pregnant) we seem to cope well with the increase in extra weight. I use to see this as a free strength session where you come carrying your own weights💪🏻🤰🏼👈🏻
The big adjustments came from being fit and fast 🦅to fit and slow🦔....yip you got it
I went from training for races to training for labour. In races we are going hard and fast and although the pain was there in training come race day we hope we have trained enough it becomes less noticeable. During labour it’s all about the pain and what threshold your willing to maintain.
Therefore in the lead up (3mths) the focus of my training is mostly always on endurance, slow consistent riding, walking, freeweights, yoga holds, and learning breathing techniques.
